INDIE/EMO-ROCK. "wolverines", the new full-length from I AM THE AVALANCHE, who are fronted by Vinnie Caruana of THE MOVIELIFE. Encompassing 10 songs full of heart, ferocity, relentless passion and, of course, struggle, "wolverines" follows the band's sophomore album, the acclaimed "avalanche united", and is their most anthemic and cohesive full-length album to date and stands as a fitting body of work to the band's natural progression.

POP-PUNK. I CALL FIVES' debut full-length takes a page out of the book of high-energy pop played by bands like NEW FOUND GLORY and, well, NEW FOUND GLORY with loads of melody, cuddly vocals and slick production. Colored vinyl version includes a digital download card.

SINGER/SONGWRITER. I CAN MAKE A MESS, the solo project of Ace Enders of THE EARLY NOVEMBER fame, doesn't just rely on its mastermind's prior work to stand on its own but creates its own sound that is more experimental and diverse, bringing together sounds of artists like BON IVER, IRON & WINE and AMERICAN FOOTBALL. Vinyl version includes bonus CD.

MELODIC-PUNK. I FARM's latest released, appropriately titled ''IV'', is packed with enough twist, turns, melody, and speed to keep you guessing, while creating new pathways of thought to worlds only I FARM can conjure... The 14 songs again recorded and produced at The Blasting Room by Bill Stevenson of (DESCENDENDENTS, ALL, and BLACK FLAG).I FARM ''IV'' also welcomes a new warrior to the mission, John Meredith of SOMEDAY I.I FARM has come full circle in the last decade. Stripped back down to a three piece, stronger than ever and ready to kill!

POST-ROCK. I LIKE TRAINS release their 3rd album "the shallows" on Leeds' ILR Records. The band have experimented more with their sound with a greater use of synthesizers on this record while historical subject matter has made way for lyrics more focused on modern technology and the worrying grip it holds over us all. "the shallows" explores their relationships with technology. "the shallows" deals with themes of information overload.

HARDCORE-PUNK. Fast, pissed-off, female-fronted hardcore-punk from upstate New York! I OBJECT embody the D.I.Y. lifestyle, pressing several of thier own releases and booking multiple U.S. and international tours on their own. Alternative Tentacles Records is stoked to release this aural slap in the fat fucking face of complacent Amerika!

HARDCORE. One of the most anticipated releases of the summer for the new crop of Massachusetts hardcore bands, I RISE (comprised of former members of YOUTH ATTACK) brings us "down" - a record that builds on their hard-hitting, mid-tempo sound that's blended with charged lyrics. A style that is reminiscent of some mid- and late '90s bands, but with a their own, brand new flavor. For fans of SNAPCASE, HAVE HEART and 108.

HARDCORE. I RISE (comprised of former members of YOUTH ATTACK and current members of AMBITIONS) brings us "for redemption", a record that builds on their hard-hitting, mid-tempo sound that's blended with charged lyrics, a style that is reminiscent of some mid/late '90s bands but with a their own, brand new flavor. For fans of BANE, HAVE HEART and AMBITIONS.

PUNK-ROCK. Hailing from Helsinki, Finland, I WALK THE LINE deliver their 4th full-length album. The band plays yetr again dark resonant, melodic, edgy punk, pulling from such influences as ROCKET FROM THE CRYPT, THE CLASH, ADOLESCENTS and MURDER CITY DEVILS.. the list could go on and on but I WALK THE LINE are all about listening to everybody and everything with an open mind and doing things their own way no matter what.

METALCORE. Burly, extremely well-produced metalcore from these New England chaps, heavily influenced by the melodic Swedish sound a la IN FLAMES and AT THE GATES, but also grabbing onto the sheer heaviness of bands like CONVERGE and their kin. CD reissue includes enhanced video for "Shop till you drop" and guest vocals from Trevor Phipps of UNEARTH.

HARDCORE. IGNITE has been flying the flag for melodic hardcore from Orange County California, building on the foundation laid by bands like UNIFORM CHOICE, UNITY. "a war against you" is the band's 4th full-length album. Vinyl includes a CD version
